The Three Phases of Pregnancy

Everyone, including the doctors always say the first trimester can be rough, the second is glorious and the third is, well, uncomfortable. Well, I have seen the light of the second trimester. Although I still get sick, that is part of my life now, so I am used to it and if I might say, quite good at it. Not sure if it is possible to be good at something like that, but I want to give myself credit where credit is due. I now have energy to do things (when I am not sick to my stomach) and actually have an appetite back. I have only gained 3 pounds to date. For 16 weeks, that is not as much as I thought I would gain. So I have officially entered the phase that I call, pregnancy is not that bad. NOW I can look back on my first three months and say it went by quickly. Talk to me in another 13 weeks, I bet I have another outlook!

A kid in a candy store

That is what Neal looked like last night when he saw my growing belly. He had not seen it in a while and could not stop grinning. Just earlier in the car he was saying how he thought my bump would be bigger by now. It made things just a little bit more real for both of us. It was the greatest smile I have ever seen. I wish I would have taken a picture of him. Instead, he took a picture of me and sent it to my mom. She confirmed that I am indeed getting bigger.

Selling box of kid toy guns!

Seriously? I could not believe when I saw this on Craig's List.

People really do buy guns for their kids, lots of them, and they live right here in Clintonville. Vests, glasses, guns and bazookas, oh my! I guess if you are going to use a gun, you might as well consider safety.
